Homesharing music play problem but Airplay works!?

I have a very strange problem. My setup is as follows, Airport Extreme, Apple TV2, Imac 27 (Source), Ipad (Remote app),Pioneer VSX 1020 receiver (Sound output)
Using one of my IOs devices with the remote app to control the Apple TV2 directly and select music from my home shared library doesn´t give any sound output.
Selecting in the remote app the library on the source (Imac) and play the same song from the library through Airplay does give sound !?
Now when i put on my TV connected to my Pioneer receiver the direct Apple TV2 control of the home shared library suddenly gives sound ouput.
This gives problems as nobody can´t use the source to play it´s own music when my TV is off.
How to solve this ?

Just updated my Apple TV and it seems to have solved this problem.
Strange thing is still when i switch my TV off and the Apple TV was playing content,it all stops.
The Apple TV 2 seems to have intelligence build in that it can check through my receiver if the TV is still on or off.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture. Same with the iPod. Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

I lost the sound for all apps. Music plays fine but apps do not have sound?

How do I recover the sound in the apps, music plays fine on the iPad, but apps now have no sound.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Laptop + Synaptics Touchbad - scrolling problems (but 2fingers works)

Hello Guys.
Yesterday I finally decided to fine tune all the little things on my laptop. I have Compal FL90 - not the newest one but it works just fine. When I was working on windows, I could use the rightmost vertical part of my touchpad to scroll. I got used to this nifty feature and I am trying to achieve the same result on Arch.

ITunes music sync problem: "drag & drop" works; "Sync Music" doesn't?

I've been trying to sync a few new playlists of music to my iPhone 3GS with frustrating results.
I'm hoping someone can explain to me what I may be doing wrong.
In the past when I wanted to add new music to my iPhone I would use what I refer to as the "Sync Music" or Music tab method. I would rip the CD, create a new playlist for the album, plug in my iPhone, select it under the Devices list in iTunes then click on the Music tab up at the top of iTunes (I have "Sync Music" checked and "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" checked. I would scroll down through the list of playlists, find the new playlist I created and check the box next to it and sync my phone to add the new music.
This has worked flawlessly for years. Until now.
The last three albums I have tried to add this way will not sync to my 3GS. The music will play perfectly on my MacBook in iTunes. I ripped the music the same way, created the playlists the same way, and I can even get as far as the list of playlists under the "Sync Music" check box in the Music tab. I can see the new playlists in this list, I check the boxes indicating I want to sync them to my phone, but when I click Apply and then Sync, the music never shows up on my iPhone.
I keep every new album I import in it's own playlist, so being able to select which playlists I want to sync to my phone is definitely the method I would prefer to use, but since it wasn't working I tried checking the box next to "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary tab. This of course disables the Music tab and unchecks the box next to "Sync Music".
I'm not too familiar with using this method to manage my music library, so maybe someone can show me a better way to do this, but with the "Manually manage music and videos" box checked the only way I know to add music to my iPhone is to drag a playlist one at a time from my iTunes library to my phone in the devices list.
This is where I get confused. For some reason the new ablums I ripped, which I was unable to sync the way I am used to ("Sync Music" check box/Music tab method), can be dragged and dropped onto my phone and they are copied to the phone without a problem.
WHY!?
Why, am I able to sync these ablums using this tedious and clunky drag and drop method and yet I'm unable to copy them to my iPhone using my prefered "Sync Music" checkbox method?
If you have any idea why I'm experiencing these problems or if you have experienced a similar problem please let me know.
Thank you.

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

IPod Touch 4G Music Playing Problem

I have an iPod touch 4g and whenever I click on a song it either doesn't play or it skips to another song and plays that song. When I click the shuffle button for all songs it will go to a song and play that actual song or not play at all. I cannot play playlists or songs I have speciffically chosen I have tried restarting and shutting down but it still does the same thing. I had recently transferred purchases to itunes on another computer if that helps. Please leave suggestions on how to stop this!

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync and resync all music
- Restore from backup
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

IPod Classic Won't Play Songs, but Resetting Worked??

I have a brand new iPod Classic that I just bought on Saturday 10/26/2013.
I got it all set up on Sunday 10/27, and started listening to it at the office yesterday, Monday 10/28.
I started using it at the office again today, 10/29, and after a few songs, I noticed that the progress indicator was pegged at the end of the song, with 0:00 remaining, but the song continued to play. I was curious about that, so pressed << to go back to the start of the song. The song reset to the begining, but would NOT play. I tried power cycling, and tried playing other songs, all with the same result - the song would show up in the screen, but would not play.
I saw the instructions on the Apple support page suggesting resetting the device, and sure enough, the iPod now plays again.
Here are my questions: This seems to have been a known problem for at least a few years, judging from the time/date stamps on the earlier discussions I've seen on this forum.
How is it that this problem has never been fixed?
How is it that you release a product and have instructions for the user to just try resetting the devce when it fails to work? If I released a product like that, I would probably be fired.
Are there any plans to provide a software update that resolves this issue?

I had the exact same problem happen with my iPod Classic. It was playing along just fine - and then went silent. When I checked, it was skipping from one song to the next. Now I can't get it to play anything.
Not sure what AAC version is, but if it was working fine for the last two years, I don't believe that changing the format would make a difference. It must be something else.

Music Playing Problem

Please help.
Thanks,

Music playing problems

Hi,
Hoping someone can help. I connect my iphone 4s to the stereo in my car via it's USB port. I have always just stuck the music on shuffle and as I was jumping in and out of the car throughout the day, plugged it back in and it picked up from where it left off and carried on shuffling through the songs. Since the upgrade to ios 7, it won't do this anymore. Whenever I connect my phone to the car, it picks a random point on the song list and runs through the songs alphabetically, which is getting really annoying when I forget to shuffle the songs again before I drive off.
It will also revert back to the alphabetical list if I get a call while it's plugged in to the car. The car has voice control, so I don't need to pick the phone up to answer it by the way while I'm driving! But this interruption seems to knock it back to a random point on the song list and cancels the shuffle. It's only been doing this since the upgrade by the way too, which is getting really annoying!!
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Bex

I have an older airport express. Airplay streaming has worked almost perfectly until recently. I also experienced multiple dropouts lately when listening to music - in my case streaming from my 5s.
Restarted router and express and it's still cutting out. Starting to think a regression may have been introduced by Apple in one of the recent updates to iOS. In any event it's getting annoying. Feels like l'm spending more time trouble shooting Apple stuff that used to always just work.
I will fiddle around and report back later.

Line Out Speaker Problems, but Headphones work just fine?

So my computer was working beautifully yesterday, but today, my speakers sound awful. The bass sounds alright but any treble just sounds echoey and/or scrambled. It's also just really quiet at times. My headphones work just fine though. Any suggestions?

If the headphones are OK, then check your speakers. If they are powered speakers there may be a problem with the speaker's amplifier or you could have a loose connection.

ITunes music playing problems

Hey I just downloaded and installed 7.1 iTunes and have played a few songs on it but now it won't play any songs at all. As I start up iTunes and when i play a song it says it playing but I cannot hear anything and the dial of the song indicator is not moving. If you can help I would really appreciate it.

I have restarted my computer and turned off the extra sound settings.

Icloud music playing problem

If all my music on my iphone is in the cloud how do I make it easily and quickly available like when I want to do a shuffle and it only plays the few songs that have been downloaded?

You can't.
The iCloud icon available with a song means it hasn't been downloaded and the shuffle option will not automatically download songs.

I have had my ipad about 1 year and the music plays fine but that is the only sound!

Please help it is really annoying !

If you mean that you only have sound in the music app, I think you have system sounds muted.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Airplay works for one user but not for another on the same machine

I have the problem where airplay works for one user but not for another and both users are on the same machine. For the user where it does not work, everything appears normal, it's just that there is no sound being transmitted.
